Critters are collectible creatures in All 4 One. A total of 54 unique critters can be found across planet Magnus, collected using the Vac-U. Gathering critters is necessary to unlock the six Croid labs scattered throughout the game, each requiring an increasing number of critters to access. These labs contain parts of the RYNO VI Protosuit.
Non-collectible critters in All 4 One include heliogrubs and Mr. Dinkles. Additionally, the Critter Strike weapon transmogrifies enemies into critters, which—depending on the selected mod—can turn them into a pig, sheep, or T-Rex.
History[]
Critters under loki possession.
Following the destruction of Toranux, the malevolent spirits known as the loki embedded themselves within fragments of their shattered planet. One such fragment crashed into Terawatt Forest on Magnus. Unable to survive outside their homeworld’s remains, the loki were forced to possess Magnus' native creatures. However, they could only inhabit smaller critters, as larger beings proved resistant to possession.[1][2][3]
Croid and Binklemeyer doing research on critters.
The tharpods arrived on Magnus much later, living peacefully and forming a deep bond with nature. This connection became a cultural rite of passage, with young tharpods adopting creature companions.[4] Two tharpod scientists, Dr. Frumpus Croid and Dr. Nevo Binklemeyer, sought to understand this bond. They discovered cosmic radiation emanating from the critters and developed a protomorphic energy extractor to study it[5]—unaware that the radiation was actually the loki.
However, Dr. Croid's pet, Mr. Dinkles, became possessed by the Loki Master, who manipulated Nevo into aiding its cause and rebelling.[1] The Loki Master granted Nevo control over an army of collector minions and the powerful machine Ephemeris, which captured critters from across the universe and transported them to Magnus[6] in search of new hosts for the loki.[1]
Despite these efforts, many critters escaped captivity and roamed freely, often falling prey to the predators introduced to Magnus and allowed to hunt unchecked. In response, Vac-Us were deployed to help minions recapture the critters.[7]
After the Loki Master was ultimately defeated, Dr. Croid and Nevo used the protomorphic energy extractor to purge the loki from any remaining possessed creatures on Magnus.[8]
